Stanford MS / MBA?

Hi guys,

Got into GSB today! Background was the traditional IB / PE path. Any chimps have some info / thoughts on tacking on a 3rd year to knock out a MS CS while I'm there? Thought process would be to take advantage of the sunk cost of leaving the workforce to tack the CS degree on - honestly not sure if I'll return to PE or look for something more tech-focused but it does seem like people having skillsets on both ends could be something of a differentiator / future-proofer for the rest of my career.

In exchange, happy to answer any questions on my background!

Cheers,

amistupid
